Dark Circuits Orchestra

Hans Tammen’s Dark Circuits Orchestra uses Earle Brown’s open form composition idea as a starting point to create a large multi-movement piece, performed by an ensemble of contemporary electronic instrument practices such as circuit bending, no-input mixers, laptops, turntablism, analogue circuitry, network sniffers, live coding and soldering, and more. The concept has been presented with various ensembles in Mexico, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, in the US and even online.

Dark Circuits Orchestra – which is in fact Third Eye’s all-electronic version – performed APHERESIS, a 1hr, large multi-movement piece, at Eyebeam in 2014 as part of Hans Tammen’s Dark Circuits Festival.
